rather harsh imo but it’s a pen in this day and age

It really isn’t though, the rules are that if it’s a body part supporting the player it’s not a pen and hasn’t been for at least a year.

Spend money on amputating your defenders' arms to improve their chance of avoiding hand balls.

if bracing yourself as you fall to the ground isn't a natural position for a hand then there is no such thing

I don’t think I’ve been able to successfully predict a single VAR call this World Cup. Whenever I’m sure something is a foul, it’s waved away. And then there’s this clown rear end call.

In theory you could choose how you fall on your hand and I can imagine a disingenuous player blocking the ball by falling just the right way. That’s what the rule is trying to counteract.

That's true. Are there any other sports where replay technology is just completely accepted as correct in the same way it is in tennis?

Also it's just fully instant and automated. Any system where a human has to use their eyes to check if something is one frame on or one frame off it's busted and no go from the start.

Maybe if the Uruguayan defender hadn't gotten merked by a fully sick nutmeg he wouldn't have had to worry about where he put his arm
